Interesting article in NYT about fashion from Bengal

Fresh From Kolkata, 'Bengali Style' Emerges - NYTimes.com

A great article describing the Bengali art style in Indian fashion, and its top proponents. We love Sabya's work ourselves - and have dabbled heavily in the "zardozi" and "kantha" work done in our designs, with embroiderers from Kolkata....come see us for some samples!

"Ms. Khanna said she believed that the main advantage of being in Kolkata is that she is far from the fashion centers of Delhi and Mumbai — something other designers from the region concur with. “Being away in one corner means you have time to think,” she says. “Calcutta is a patient city and is much more subtle in its expression. Plus, the preservation of the arts is something that’s in the air here.”
